transposon sequence.  About 90% of the genome seems to be transposon
sequence at this time, but my guess is that most of the remaining 90%
is just old transposon sequence that has been mutated to the extent

If 90% is transposon, that only leaves 10%. Or do they mean 90% of the
remaining 10%?

Anyway, do these parasitic bits of DNA speed up evolution by creating
more replication errors?
